Reviews for Franklin Social American Kitchen & Bar in Philadelphia, PA

We ordered take out from here and it was delicious! They have many gluten free options including gluten free buns and tater... tots! I highly recommend the burger and fried chicken sandwich. Read more

Drinks and dinner. Not a huge fan of tater tots vs fries. But they were done nicely and were crispy . Poor Richard club was good... but a tad small , only two layers. Drinks were not weak and service was very strong. Read more

Had the Hummus and Cobb salad with grilled chicken! Fantastic! Hummus was fresh, and definitely not store bought and the salad... was great - I don't like a heavy dressing and was very pleased with the taste! I'll be back. Read more

Service was....an experience. I assume they're understaffed, and the gentleman working was quite stressed. We walked in around... 730. There were 3 tables seated. The server asked if we had a reservation. There were about 15 empty tables, but since he wasworking alone, he said we'd have a 5-10 minute wait. We asked to sit down since we had just walked about 20 blocks, which hedid let us do. As we were ordering, another gentleman entered and asked a question (very politely I might add). The server'sresponse was "are you f***ing kidding me, man? Go ask someone else". It was...shocking. The food was good, drinks were good.But his treatment of us on entrance and this other gentleman were...not. We all have bad days, but to curse at a customer forasking a simple question was really unacceptable. Read more

We ate dinner there last night as we stayed in the hotel. It was pretty much empty at 8pm. I had the lobster bisque. It was... very flavorful but I think the lobster might have crawled out of the pot before it was made, because it had zero lobster in it,unless it was ground up into a powder. My wife and I had the NY Strip steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus and it wasdecent. Nothing to write home about though. My daughter had the Chicken Parm Sandwich that she seemed to enjoy. It came withthese really weird French Fries. It’s almost like they were smashed but they were delish. Our waiter was a very nice oldergentleman and always made sure our drinks were full. Overall, it was a nice place to eat, and I would eat here again. It’s notbad on the pockets either especially for the location in a major city. Read more

Came for restaurant week (one of few places that had Sunday lunch options). Very pleasant brunch atmosphere with quaint... historical decorations. Served large portion sizes and tasted alright but dishes were very simple. Read more

Found this place on Yelp after a friend went "gluten-free ish". It's located inside the renaissance hotel. Decent menu, drinks,... etc. The decor is nice. We went on a Sunday night and it was empty or what people might call "intimate". I had the foie, friendhad the roast chicken, and we shared an order of the truffle frites. My foie was good, a bit oily but cooked well. Small portionbut to be expected (it's a goose not a horse). Friend's chicken was good, little dry. The frites were limp and oily. Dessert waschocolate mousse which tasted like it was prepared in house. Overall not a bad meal but nothing exceptional. Read more

I like that they have French inspired breakfast menu on one side and American menu on the other side. Visited at least 4-5 times... over our hotel stay at the Renaissance for breakfast and lunch. Service has been good if it’s not busy and food was wonderful.Nice vibe and decor as well. Read more
